Courier Exchange Blog

Hello, darlings!

Today, I don't want to waffle on too much in this first paragraph, because the idea I had for the actual post is so much fun that I can't wait to share it with all of you! It's a reader interaction, as you might expect, and it has a funny story behind it. So the only detour I'm going to make this time around is going to be so I can recount that.

Hello, my dears!

Before we even begin, I just wanted to let you know I promised myself I would not say it. No. Not this time. I won't say it. You all know it already...what is even the point?

Hello, my dears!

How are we all? Enjoying the warmer weather and looking forward to summer, I hope? I know I certainly am. I am enjoying the way business at the cafe has been picking up, too – while it can get busy sometimes during the chillier months, there is always more movement when the weather is hot, and there are more drivers out and about on their haulage and courier jobs in dire need of a coffee and sandwich! Some of those who come through are on day-long or several-day jobs – explaining the need for on-the-road nourishment – but some mostly work locally, and come in because they like my cooking, the coffee-brewing, and the bit of banter I always offer.

Hello, darlings!

Do I even need to say anything? I feel like, at this point, every other post begins the same way. Oh, blast it all – I shall say it again! I LOVE these reader interactions! My readership has some of the most interesting comments, answers and insights I have seen in my time on the Internet. Which admittedly is not that long, but still...

Hello dearies!

Well...here we are. According to many on the Internet, spring has sprung, and the wintertime blues are (hopefully) on their way out for another year! So I thought we would celebrate this happy time the best way we know how – with a good old-fashioned reader interaction exercise!

Hello, my darlings!

Well...you know what I'm going to say in this part of the post, don't you? I don't even need to start. "Amazing answers; you lot really came through; this is why I love doing reader interactions with you people," and so on and so forth. It feels as though I say this every other week and, while it does bear repeating, I'm sure at some point it gets tiresome!

Hello darlings!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the fact that the winter chill seems to be slowly going away and being replaced with the far more pleasant crispness of spring. I know with my readers, that is almost certainly the case – working courier jobs in the wintertime can be an absolute nightmare, what with all the ice, rain and snow! Not that it doesn't rain in spring as well - this is England, after all - but you know what I mean.

Hello, dears!

Well, as ever, ask and thou shalt receive! These reader interactions never disappoint, and this latest one didn't either. It seems as though when you lot have an interesting topic to talk about there is very little stopping you – not that I am complaining, of course...

Hello, my dears!

Well...another week, another brilliant idea for a reader interaction from the mind of your old Auntie Gertie! I do love when this sort of thing just pops into my head, and lately that has been happening more and more often. I suppose when you have readers as amazing as mine, you become extra-creative in order to be able to please them!

Hello, dears!

Well! Excuse me if I don't sound quite myself today, but my head is swimming from all these numbers! Years of experience working in a cafe and tallying up sales and till totals did NOT prepare me for this, let me tell you! Then again, I suppose I set myself up for this one, didn't I, fiddling with statistics and whatnot...?
